"who would be forcing that civil war?"
"those trying to stop it"
if they fire the first shot, yes. IMHO
this is not why we kill people. if we think that the justice system is flawed, we work to fix it, and believe me, we are. judical appointments more favorable to our beliefs will be approved. its going to take some time, a lot of time, and we will lose Terri long before we can declare victory. this is one battle in a long war. it will be seen as a pivotal one, to be sure, but we have a long way to go.
i know you want to fight, but this is not the time. IMHO.
Probate Judge Greer was elected, not appointed.
He has usurped powers he does not have (preventing the Governor from enforcing the law by threat of force) and he needs to be held accountable.
He violated the separation of powers, and judges now effectively run this country.
I'm outraged. I'm outraged at everyone involved in this case...except for Terri.
But you're right. Terri will likely die soon and at this point, I'm not convinced we can do much else.
What we need to do is double or triple our efforts at getting a truly rational and independent-minded judiciary elected and/or appointed.
All of our anger, outrage, etc. needs to be re-directed to reforming our judiciary. We will win some and we will lose some but from here on, this is what we need to do.
Let's honor Terri in this way by doing what we can to ensure something like this never happens again.
